Semi-speed through the "chatty" stuff if you absolutely must, but be sure not to miss any of the mayhem.

He [Lee] is decidedly an eye-catching figure as he takes on all comers, singly or in whimpering groups, in stylized, Karate-like bouts with swift, balletic moves, baleful stares, deadly flying fists and legs and, of course, all the necessary eerie shouts.

Not quite up to par with Lee's parting opus . . . but a fitting showcase for Lee's exceptional prowess

While it has great fight scenes, the acting is poor and the story is very flimsy.
